John's magical portal to the Ocean and dreams...LBS

You visited me in a dream last night.  You were simply you.  It was amazing to share that short time with your energy.  E.E. Cummings- I carry your heart, in mine.  And for me, that's forever.  Missing my friend and hoping everyone else who loves you dearly will be blessed  to see you in their dreams.  Isla

John Wm Martin...
Someone who stays up all night if you're sad or worried...
The best friend who makes you laugh, no matter your mood- or his, for that matter.
The guy who jumps HEAD first into any new endeavor or stream...
The sweetest dreamer ever.  His lofty goals weren't unattainable...they were diminished by his farewell.

John Martin was smart, gregarious, funny, altruistic- a true friend to all people, no matter their walk of life, titles or other meaningless things.

He loved his daughter without boundaries.  His family meant the world to him...and he let them know it.  

Sometimes hearing an "I love you" meant listening to one of the songs he played on the phone for you...or he dedicated so that you'd listen via youtube.  When he couldn't say it himself...he let others help him relay his message.

John Loved Life like no one I have ever known before...or likely will again.

I miss you more than words can say.

Truly,
Infinity

I will love you, forever and ever, Amen.
As you've said...it's never ending.
Your heart and your love for life is bigger than most people can handle.
Infinity.

From the st.john praise team ministry, we so enjoyed john , he would always help us set up and clean up after our events,and he was always so happy and he would find things to do to help even when we thought we had it under control. He was such a blessing to us , he loved to help us in the kitchen and would always tell the girls I got this , go on and play. We truly miss this angel.

To John's family, please hold on to the good memories. We will.

You are with our father GOD now. I love you Big Brother an miss you. I have an always will have much love for you. Bye my brother my friend an most important my family ! I love you John !

I miss you so much!  I still cant believe your gone. I keep waiting for you to call me or come through the door. We had so many fun times together. You were always there when i needed a pep talk. I love you so much.

I'm going to miss you so much Uncle John. I'll never forget the fun times we shared or the stories you told that always made me laugh. You taught me how to ride a long board in Florida and you didn't give up until I could do it on my own. I've always looked up to you and admired you for the way you lived life exactly the way you wanted regardless of what anyone else thought. We'll meet again one day and watch the beauty of a sunset and a sunrise together, I promise. I love you with all my heart.

I wake up every morning hoping  that it was just a dream and then it does hits me that you are not here, my heart does feels heavy and here comes that pain but then I start thinking and realized that the Lord has called you away and who I am to say, who I am to judge, the one on the skies is the one that decides.    You gave me a gift that was the gift of life and that is why I love you and that is why I always will.  I know you are watching and know you are looking, where ever you are. You always will have an especial place in my heart.  I love you.  
                                                                         Ani

I'm going to miss you joe rock head.  We are all better for having known you and it has been and always will be an honor to be called your sister.  You never said goodbye it was always peace.  So peace my brother until meet again.  I love you.

Although I only knew you for a little while? I knew I loved your soul. Friends for eternity? I'll see you in heaven.

Uncle I am going to miss you soo much. I'll never forget all the random trips and adventures we used to go on. We've shared so many laughs and good memories, and I'll cherish those everyday. Until we meet again one day Uncle, rest easy I Love you. - your homie josh :)

Someone who took his shirt/coat literally off his back to help another.  Protector of the under dog and always had your back.  He was self aware and always strove to be a better person.  He was someone whose footsteps of goodness should be followed.  You will forever be in my heart.  You were the best of friends.  Thank you for so many life lessons.  You're one of the BEST people I've known.  Love you bruh

RIP John...you were such an awesome person and will be greatly missed.  Thoughts and prayers for your family and loved ones.

The hardest hit I ever took in football was by my teammate John. He was a man among boys. My condolences got out to his family and friends

John has had a place in my heart since the day we met in the 5th grade. Many of my fondest memories include him. I will always remember John, with love and affection. I extend that love to his family.

John was a special person with a kind spirit.  My condolences and prayers for his family.

I was so sorry to hear about John.  I had not seen him in years but when you're family, you don't need to see them all the time to know we care.  I do remember all of us cousins growing up and spending holidays and summertime's at Mrs Martin's.  I do miss those days.  I think of them fondly and smile. John will be deeply missed.  Also, my heart goes out to all of you.

Ima miss you so much. You gave me the best pep talks when i was down. The memories we share are priceless. I will forever miss you. I'll be expecting you to be waiting to greet me at those pearly gates when my day arrives. Rest  in peace my sweet sweet Brudder. I love you!

Farewell my friend. May God bless you and all your family!

I have memories that was on a daily basis. I was pregnant w/Carolyn, had JohnBoy on my hip and Candy holding my hand as we did our shopping. Then taking the kids to McDonald's. He was always my lil man. And I very much wish that I had a chance to see him now. Always know that I'm a phone call away. You & family are in my heart & prayers. Love you"Sis!"

John had an adventurous soul and spirit with which he embraced life and lived it to the fullest.  I will cherish the memories of a lifelong friendship.  May he finally find peace.

John was a very kind human being. I hadn't spoken to him in years, but will always have wonderful memories of him. My prayers to his family. May God be with you in your time of grief.

Such a sweet and caring person . Prayers go out his family RIP John

I will miss our morning cup of coffee, as well as so many other things. Until we meet again, my son, I will hold you lovingly in my heart.

John was a mentor, a friend and an absolute inspiration to me as a young student athlete. His leadership and interest helped me more than any coach and he was only a year older than me. I am so saddened by his passing and that I was unable to reconnect with him as an adult.

Great guy! I knew John in high school (North Stafford) and we spent time together in college (Emory & Henry). I had not seen him in many years. But, I will always remember him as a very faithful friend and just all around great guy!

I am sadden to learn of John's passing. He was a sweet person and a great athlete. My condolences to the family.

Too soon my friend, too soon.  Rest in peace.....

John was always a larger-than-life figure for me when we were young--sweet, silly, handsome, charismatic, truly alive in every way. He and I never exchanged a cross word, and having him laugh at my jokes was one of my greatest thrills in high school. I adored him and felt so lucky to be his friend.

John had a heart of gold. His spirit had no equal. He will be truly missed by everyone who knew him.  My condolences to his family. 

May you rest in peace Johnny Martin.  See you on the other side, my friend.

I love you, big brother. Forever in my heart.

Recordado John, quedaras en nuestra memoria por siempre y que Dios el todopoderoso te de sus bendiciones y entres en el reinado divino para siempre.   

Tu Compadre de por vida Tito Morrell y Familia.....

Love, 
Nini ??

Dear Family, My heart aches for you.  Love to all.

John was always happy and all of us cousins had a lot of great times, too many to narrow down. He made a lasting impression on everyone he came in contact with. He will be missed deeply. Know he will be watching & waitin' for us from above to be reunited again! Thoughts and prayers are with you all,family.
